Just watched this and I noticed that the basement is filled with a lot of vases, paintings, etc. ala the basement in Citizen Kane. Just wondering if anyone else thought this was intentional.

I thought it looked like it was filled with left-overs from MGM's prop department. Didn't look like a real basement at all.

Big Daddy explains in the movie-that he took Big Momma to Europe and she tried to buy everything she saw, not every scene in a movie, is stolen from another movie.

Big Daddy and Big Momma need to have a garage sale...desperately!

I liked the fact that there was a blown-up publicity photo of Brick, either in high school or college. Didn't see even a little Polaroid of Gooper!
